Pedestrian Master Plan 2010

▰ Vision: For Louisville to become the safest and most

appealing community for pedestrians!

▰ Mission: Create a community wide culture that

supports pedestrians through physical improvements, policies and pedestrian programs by increasing the pedestrian system network while simultaneously reducing the rate of pedestrian crashes.

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Understanding Pedestrian Crashes

▰ 23% of fatalities occurring on Metro

roadways were pedestrian fatalities.

▰ Louisville conducted a 5-year pedestrian

crash analysis to identify:

▰ Trends ▰ High risk populations ▰ High crash locations

Vision Zero

▰ aka: Safe Systems Approach ▰ Principles: ▰ People make mistakes ▰ Crashes are going to happen ▰ The human body can only tolerate a certain amount of crash force

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Vision Zero

▰ Why? ▰ Average Crash Costs in KY: ▰ Fatal Crash = $9,281,571 ▰ Serious Injury = $537,913 ▰ Societal Costs: ▰ US: $433.7 Billion (Source: National Safety Council) ▰ KY: $8.9 Billion

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Vision Zero

▰ Paradigm Shift: ▰ Let’s not focus on eliminating crashes ▰ Let’s focus on eliminating fatalities and serious injuries

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Vision Zero

▰ How? ▰ Other elements of the Safety Systems approach: ▰ We can’t continue to blame the driver ▰ Shared responsibility ▰ Proven solutions ▰ Proactive approach (treat the risk factors)

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Shared Responsibility?

▰ The Swiss Cheese Model: ▰Layered security measures are

represented as slices of swiss cheese with the holes being weaknesses in the parts of the system

▰A “failure” only results when a hole

in each slice momentarily aligns, permitting a hazard to pass through all of the slices

The Swiss Cheese Model was originally put forward by Dante Orlandella and James T. Reason of the University of Manchester

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Vision Zero

▰ “Safe Systems” Goal: ▰ ensure redundancy in the system so that

when a crash does happen, the crash forces released are within the boundaries of human tolerance and that no fatalities should occur and serious injuries are reduced

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Vision Zero

▰ Treat the risk factors? ▰ Improve the roadway features with high

correlation to fatal & serious injury crashes

▰ How are risk factors determined? ▰ In-depth Safety Diagnosis

(aka Analysis of Crash & Roadway data)

▰ Engineering Judgement
